The study investigated the physicochemical and microbial qualities of freshly produced packaged water in Nsukka, Nigeria in a way that reveals the effect of the filling and sealing processes on the final water quality. The result shows that the physicochemical parameters were largely within standards, except for a few packaged water that violated the standards for pH (7%), iron (Fe) (39%), and conductivity (32%). More than 70% and 3% of the packaged water tested positive for total coliform and E. coli respectively, which suggest inadequate disinfection and recent faecal contamination. The uniformity of the physicochemical parameters among sachet and bottled water collected from the same brand suggests that the filling and sealing processes either have similar or no effect on the physicochemical properties. Microbial parameters of packaged water from the same brand were less uniform but still within the same confident limits. Better surveillance and stricter supervision by the regulatory authorities, including insistence on full compliance with the general hygiene provisions, are required to put an end to the proliferation of unsafe packaged water and the associated life-threatening illnesses.

“…Twenty-six of the thirty-seven reports showed an association between Ca deficiency and/or Ca accumulation and the expression of Ca 2+ -movement-related genes (Ca 2+ antiporters [27,29,32,35,36,39,[42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]53], calreticulin [30,[51][52][53], Ca 2+ -ATPase [35,36,39,54,55], Ca 2+ channels [55][56][57][58], and PME [35,59]). Of the remaining studies, five studies identified QTLs that described variation in tipburn incidence [25,26,33,34,38]. Two studies investigated the causative genes of Ca deficiency disorders and Ca accumulation by focusing on morphological traits (leaf shape [28] and root hair production [61]).…”

The occurrence of calcium (Ca2+) deficiency disorders is a severe problem in the production of horticulture crops. Recently, several studies have investigated the role of gene expression in Ca2+ deficiency disorders and/or Ca2+ accumulation, providing an indication of the mechanism of Ca2+ deficiency disorders at the genetic level. To determine the relation between gene expression and the occurrence of Ca2+ deficiency disorders, we conducted a systematic review of the literature using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses protocol. In our initial search, we extracted studies investigating the relationships between Ca2+ deficiency disorders (tipburn and blossom-end rot) and gene expression. In our second search, we extracted studies involving functional analyses of the genes associated with Ca2+ deficiency and/or Ca2+ accumulation in plant organs. Thirty-seven articles were extracted from both searches. Studies on Ca2+ movement-related genes (Ca2+ antiporters, calreticulin, Ca2+ pumps, Ca2+ channels, and pectin methylesterases) accounted for the majority of these articles. Particularly, the effects of the expression of CAXs (Ca2+/H+ antiporters) and CRT (calreticulin) on the occurrence of Ca2+ deficiency disorders were demonstrated in studies extracted from both searches. Further research focusing on these genes may reveal the causative genes for Ca deficiency disorders in different horticulture crops. We hope that the knowledge synthesized in this systematic review will contribute to the accumulation of further knowledge and elucidation of the causes of Ca2+ deficiency disorders.
